Ok,
My little 1.5 finally died and i need the hatch to drive back and forth to work so I figured being that my job is repairing these damn hondas I might as well be nice to mine for once haha.

I bought a 92 integra ls with a bent front frame as the donor. The plan is to swap a full body harness from the headlights to the tailights and everything in between. Im putting in the integra dash in as well. Im also putting in the engine (obviously). And yes i know I am making this more difficult on myself and the mpfi swap is easy but I wanted to do this to be different and give myself a little challenge. So far all is going well.

Here is the Integra wire harness im going to use.


and here is the civic one I took out. Clearly there will be lots of extra stuff on the integra harness.


Here is the interior with everything all out.


Here is the interior once I have the harness mostly routed and stuff rough fitted. I have the integra heater core/blower unit in the car as well.


Heres the ls ready to go in.


Another pic of the engine.


The empty engine bay with integra harness. painted semi flat black.


Heres the ls in the civ.


And one more for good measure


Now heres the integra dash installed in the civic. It actually fit much much better than i was expecting. Very little modifying at all.


And a different angle.


Thats most of the progress for now. Just have to mount the underdash fuse box and rewire the fuel pump/sender as well as the thirdbrake light and rear wiper motor. So far it has been a very easy crossover and its amusing how much stuff is almost the same.

Heres the parts/mods list.

92 Integra LS engine, wire harness, dash etc.
YS1 case with gsr gears and type-r lsd.
Integra rear trailing arms and discbrakes
Integra front caliper and rotors.
Ground control coilovers with koni adjustable struts all the way around
etc. etc.

Once the engine and interior stuff is done I will be finishing my fender flares and painting the car a very very dark semi flat green.

Lemme know what you guys think.

Everything i've heard about the integra dash swap has been that in order to get the doors close you end up hacking the dash all to ****, but it doesn't seem you have. Any corner pictures?

 

You are thinking DC dash. This is a DA.

 

my bad, didn't know either fit.

Yes you are thinking of the DC Integra as b16crxt mentioned. With the DC interior swap, you do have to hack up the dash and heat the door moldings and close the doors for everything to fit "decent".

Props for doing a clean DA interior swap into a EF. It's looking really good. Keep us posted.

 

nice and clean great work!

 

Cool.

 

Yeah I didnt hack the dash at all. I will not be able to use my stock door panels though. I could have modified the stock integra panels to fit because they are very similair in shape but instead i plan to make my own door panels. Thanks for all the compliments. I will update as soon as i get some time to get out there and work.

Nice Job...

Really nice work man,I've been wanting to do that dash swap to mine for awhile.Big *** bump!!

 

Good work

 

lookin good so far

 

Awesome great job, my plans for my B16 CRX restoration is to swap over an entire OBD1 harness, either from a GSR or a EX/SI 92-95, looking for a nice clean wiring for vtec and also the power mirrors, locks, and windows...good luck with the rest of you project...Matt

 

Nice start, keep up the good work!

 

I'd like to know how your progress is going with this. I'm actually getting ready to do the same thing, However i just recently got my 91 ls. it has frame damage in the front as well. But i love the interior, and think that it fit's the style of the EF civic VERY well. I've gotten bored of my faded bluish interior and will enjoy the fresh integra dash. the gauge cluster is really what does it for me, b/c of it's similiar shape to the civic's. it's just slightly more subtle withe the curvatures. well, be good

 

Looking great so far.

 

shibby

 

are you going to use the integra door pannels too? Will they even fit?
